Peak Frequency — "I Feel the Air From Another Planet": The Second Viennese School and German Expressionism

Modern music owes so much to Arnold Schoenberg, and the best way to understand this is to hear his compositions performed. Schoenberg created the 12-tone technique and the term "developing variation," on top of introducing atonality into his music successfully. All of which sounds very abstract, so allow yourself to be illuminated with Peak FreQuency's Ich fühle Luft von anderem Planeten/I feel air from another planet: The Second Viennese School and German Expressionism, a free concert happening at 7:30 tonight at the Dusty Loo Bon Vivant Theater (3955 Regent Circle, uccs.edu/~peakfreq). The ensemble will play Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire op. 21. — Edie Adelstein
